I really don't know. I'd drop Nike if we'd have to get rid of our stripes next season, a half black - half white kit would look to odd.
Juve have a contract with them, Juve can't just drop them, let alone in this period of time. It would cost us millions and millions and millions etc. I think when we signed with them in the summer of 2003 it was an 11 year contract. So we're stuck with them for a while. Whatever, at least they pay us a sh*tload of money.
Juve confirm Capello future
Friday 19 May, 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fabio Capello has been confirmed as Juventus Coach for next season, decided today’s Board of Directors meeting.
The tactician has won two consecutive Serie A titles since taking over, but his future was in doubt amid a revolution within the club.
Although he had said in the past that his stay in Turin was linked with the so-called Triade of directors – Luciano Moggi, Antonio Giraudo and Roberto Bettega – it seems Capello will continue on the bench even after their departure.
“I’ll see you all here on July 15,” Capello told the players and journalists as Juve completed training ahead of the summer holidays.
The decision was announced by Chief Executive Officer Carlo Sant’Albano, who has been temporarily given full powers at the club following the resignation of the entire Board of Directors as a result of the investigation into match-fixing allegations.
“I have received powers to ensure the club runs smoothly until June 29, 2006, when the new Board of Directors is set to be nominated,” explained Sant’Albano.
It’s strongly rumoured that the first stepping stone to rebuilding the side will come from director of sport Franco Baldini, who has already worked with Capello at Roma.
“We are working to give Juventus a new director of sport who, sharing the vision of the club, will stand alongside Coach Fabio Capello. We’ve already started preparing for the 2006-07 campaign with Capello and we are following the evolution of the situation.”
It was always set to be a Year Zero for the Bianconeri, who will play their home games at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin while the Delle Alpi is restructured.
The club office has also moved to the new ‘Mondo Juve’ training ground in the Vinovo area of Turin.
“In this transitional period, I will work to resolve problems in bringing in new management, maintaining a strong bond with our sponsors, verifying contracts and the in-depth analysis of future projects, which will be handed on to the next CEO for his own autonomous valuation.”

It's good to hear to people at Juve are reasonably optimistic.
. Nevermind the scandal, do you have any preffered player you'd like to see moving to Juve this summer?
